Caution1. Remove dusts or drain before piping. They may get into the peripheral

machine / facilities and cause malfunction.2. When inserting an ultra-soft tube into push-in fitting, make sure to place

an Insert Ring into the tube edge. There is a risk of causing the escape of tube and a fluid leakage without using an Insert Ring.

3. The product incorporating NBR as seal rubber material has a risk of malfunction caused by ozone crack. Ozone exists in high concentrations in static elimination air, clean-room, and near the high-voltage motors, etc. As a countermeasure, material change from NBR to HNBR or FKM is necessary. Consult with PISCO for more information.

4. Special option “Oil-free” products may cause a very small amount of a fluid leakage. When a fluid medium is liquid or the products are required to be used in harsh environments, contact us for further information.

5. In case of using non-PISCO brand tubes, make sure the tolerance of the outer tube diameter is within the limits of Table 1.

 ●Table 1. Tube O.D.

6. Instructions for Tube Insertion① Make sure that the cut end surface of the tube is at right angle without

a scratch on the surface and deformations.② When inserting a tube, the tube needs to be inserted fully into the push-

in fitting until the tubing edge touches the tube end of the fitting as shown in the figure below. Otherwise, there is a risk of leakage.

Tube end

Sealing

Tube is not fully inserted up to tube end.

③ After inserting the tube, make sure it is inserted properly and not to be disconnected by pulling it moderately.

※. When inserting tubes, Lock-claws may be hardly visible in the hole, observed from the front face of the release-ring. But it does not mean the tube will surely escape. Major causes of the tube escape are the followings; ①Shear drop of the lock-claws edge②The problem of tube diameter (usually small)Therefore, follow the above instructions from ① to ③, even lock-claws is hardly visible.

7. Instructions for Tube Disconnection① Make sure there is no air pressure inside of the tube, before disconnecting it.② Push the release-ring of the push-in fitting evenly and deeply enough to

pull out the tube toward oneself. By insufficient pushing of the release-ring, the tube may not be pulled out or damaged by scratch, and tube shavings may remain inside of the fitting, which may cause the leakage later.

8. Instructions for Installing a fitting① When installing a fitting, use proper tools to tighten a hexagonal-column

or an inner hexagonal socket. When inserting a hex key into the inner hexagonal socket of the fitting, be careful so that the tool does not touch lock-claws. The deformation of lock-claws may result in a poor performance of systems or an escape of the tube.

② Refer to Table 2 which shows the recommended tightening torque. Do not exceed these limits to tighten a thread. Excessive tightening may break the thread part or deform the gasket and cause a fluid leakage. Tightening thread with tightening torque lower than these limits may cause a loosened thread or a fluid leakage.

③ Adjust the tube direction while tightening thread within these limits, since some PISCO products are not rotatable after the installation.

FITTING Common Safety Instructions for Tubes

Warning

Before selecting or using PISCO products, read the following instructions. Read the detailed instructions for individual series as well as the instructions below.

1. Avoid any load on Tubes such as tensile strength, twisting and bending. These may cause the crush, burst and escape of Tubes.

2. Protect Tubes from scratches caused by snagging or kinking. It may cause the burst of Tubes.

3. The burst pressure of Tubes drops as temperature rises. Read the operating pressure in the catalog well, and apply safety factor.

4. The minimum bending radius and the minimum installation radius are reference values at 20℃ and 65% RH. They are not guaranteed values. Refer to the minimum bending radius when Tubes are wound around a mandrel (round bar). As for the other operating conditions, refer to the minimum installation radius. These values vary depending on operating environments or the tube length. In order to make sure the suitability of Tubes, carry out the operation test by the user's actual machine before using Tubes.

5. Place Insert Ring into the edge of soft tubes like UD Series or tubes inserted to Push-In Fittings with a water fluid. There is a possibility of escape of Tube without Insert Ring.

6. Only Anti-spatter Tube can be used under the flame and weld spatter condition. Otherwise, there is a possibility of danger to catch fire by sparks.

7. Only Soft Nylon Tube can be used for warm water or thermal oil. Otherwise, tubes may burst due to deterioration.

8. Only Anti-static Tube can be used under the condition required to dissipate static electricity or provide an anti-static performance. There is a possibility that static electricity can cause malfunction or other troubles with the system.

9. An abnormal rise in temperature due to adiabatic compression may cause damage to Tubes.

10. If Tubes are used with any fluid or under any condition / environment other than listed in the catalog, as well as used outdoors, the conformity evaluation with the actual machine and safety measures taken by the responsible person are highly recommended.

Caution1. When bending tubes, observe the minimum bending radius and minimum installation radius.

2. When piping, provide sufficient lengths of tube, considering possible shrinkage.

3. When Tubes are inserted into Push-In Fitting, make sure that cut end surface of Tubes are right angle, without any scratches on the surface and deformations.

4. Note that the effective cross-section area varies by tube length. Refer to “Effective Area of Piping” in “Tube Performance” .

■ Minimum Bending Radius & Minimum Mounting Radius1. Measurement method

●Minimum Bend Radius (JIS method) ●Minimum Installation Radius (Vice method)

JIS method (based on JIS B8381)  Minimum Bending Radius is

measured by winding a tube tightly around a mandrel. Minimum Bending Radius is the value when the deformation ratio of the tube O.D. reaches 25%.  Measurement condition: 20℃

65%RH

   n= 1-─── ×100 L-D2d

  n= Deformation ratio (%). Standard: under 25%

  d= Tube O.D.  L= Measured value (mm)  D= Mandrel diameter (mm)

Fix the tube as the left figure shows. Slowly move the moving edge toward the fixed edge. When “a” deforms 25% from the initial value, the measured R is Minimum Installation Radius.  Measurement condition: 20℃

7. Instructions for Tube Disconnection① Make sure there is no air pressure inside of the tube, before disconnecting it.② Push the release-ring of the push-in fitting evenly and deeply enough to

pull out the tube toward oneself. By insufficient pushing of the release-ring, the tube may not be pulled out or damaged by scratch, and tube shavings may remain inside of the fitting, which may cause the leakage later.

8. Instructions for Installing a fitting① When installing a fitting, use proper tools to tighten a hexagonal-column

or an inner hexagonal socket. When inserting a hex key into the inner hexagonal socket of the fitting, be careful so that the tool does not touch lock-claws. The deformation of lock-claws may result in a poor performance of systems or an escape of the tube.

② Refer to Table 2 which shows the recommended tightening torque. Do not exceed these limits to tighten a thread. Excessive tightening may break the thread part or deform the gasket and cause a fluid leakage. Tightening thread with tightening torque lower than these limits may cause a loosened thread or a fluid leakage.

③ Adjust the tube direction while tightening thread within these limits, since some PISCO products are not rotatable after the installation.

FITTING Common Safety Instructions for Tubes

Warning

Before selecting or using PISCO products, read the following instructions. Read the detailed instructions for individual series as well as the instructions below.

1. Avoid any load on Tubes such as tensile strength, twisting and bending. These may cause the crush, burst and escape of Tubes.

2. Protect Tubes from scratches caused by snagging or kinking. It may cause the burst of Tubes.

3. The burst pressure of Tubes drops as temperature rises. Read the operating pressure in the catalog well, and apply safety factor.

4. The minimum bending radius and the minimum installation radius are reference values at 20℃ and 65% RH. They are not guaranteed values. Refer to the minimum bending radius when Tubes are wound around a mandrel (round bar). As for the other operating conditions, refer to the minimum installation radius. These values vary depending on operating environments or the tube length. In order to make sure the suitability of Tubes, carry out the operation test by the user's actual machine before using Tubes.

5. Place Insert Ring into the edge of soft tubes like UD Series or tubes inserted to Push-In Fittings with a water fluid. There is a possibility of escape of Tube without Insert Ring.

6. Only Anti-spatter Tube can be used under the flame and weld spatter condition. Otherwise, there is a possibility of danger to catch fire by sparks.

7. Only Soft Nylon Tube can be used for warm water or thermal oil. Otherwise, tubes may burst due to deterioration.

8. Only Anti-static Tube can be used under the condition required to dissipate static electricity or provide an anti-static performance. There is a possibility that static electricity can cause malfunction or other troubles with the system.

9. An abnormal rise in temperature due to adiabatic compression may cause damage to Tubes.

10. If Tubes are used with any fluid or under any condition / environment other than listed in the catalog, as well as used outdoors, the conformity evaluation with the actual machine and safety measures taken by the responsible person are highly recommended.

■ Minimum Bending Radius & Minimum Mounting Radius1. Measurement method

●Minimum Bend Radius (JIS method) ●Minimum Installation Radius (Vice method)

JIS method (based on JIS B8381)  Minimum Bending Radius is

measured by winding a tube tightly around a mandrel. Minimum Bending Radius is the value when the deformation ratio of the tube O.D. reaches 25%.  Measurement condition: 20℃

65%RH

   n= 1-─── ×100 L-D2d

  n= Deformation ratio (%). Standard: under 25%

  d= Tube O.D.  L= Measured value (mm)  D= Mandrel diameter (mm)

Fix the tube as the left figure shows. Slowly move the moving edge toward the fixed edge. When “a” deforms 25% from the initial value, the measured R is Minimum Installation Radius.  Measurement condition: 20℃

Caution1. Remove dusts or drain before piping. They may get into the peripheral

machine / facilities and cause malfunction.2. When inserting an ultra-soft tube into push-in fitting, make sure to place

an Insert Ring into the tube edge. There is a risk of causing the escape of tube and a fluid leakage without using an Insert Ring.

3. The product incorporating NBR as seal rubber material has a risk of malfunction caused by ozone crack. Ozone exists in high concentrations in static elimination air, clean-room, and near the high-voltage motors, etc. As a countermeasure, material change from NBR to HNBR or FKM is necessary. Consult with PISCO for more information.

4. Special option “Oil-free” products may cause a very small amount of a fluid leakage. When a fluid medium is liquid or the products are required to be used in harsh environments, contact us for further information.

5. In case of using non-PISCO brand tubes, make sure the tolerance of the outer tube diameter is within the limits of Table 1.

 ●Table 1. Tube O.D.

6. Instructions for Tube Insertion① Make sure that the cut end surface of the tube is at right angle without

a scratch on the surface and deformations.② When inserting a tube, the tube needs to be inserted fully into the push-

in fitting until the tubing edge touches the tube end of the fitting as shown in the figure below. Otherwise, there is a risk of leakage.

Tube end

Sealing

Tube is not fully inserted up to tube end.

③ After inserting the tube, make sure it is inserted properly and not to be disconnected by pulling it moderately.

※. When inserting tubes, Lock-claws may be hardly visible in the hole, observed from the front face of the release-ring. But it does not mean the tube will surely escape. Major causes of the tube escape are the followings; ①Shear drop of the lock-claws edge②The problem of tube diameter (usually small)Therefore, follow the above instructions from ① to ③, even lock-claws is hardly visible.

Page 43: TB - Microsoft · TB T T Binder for Tube ... on the latest catalog or information, ... spatter or Brass series in a place where flame and weld spatter is produced.

27

7. Instructions for Tube Disconnection① Make sure there is no air pressure inside of the tube, before disconnecting it.② Push the release-ring of the push-in fitting evenly and deeply enough to

pull out the tube toward oneself. By insufficient pushing of the release-ring, the tube may not be pulled out or damaged by scratch, and tube shavings may remain inside of the fitting, which may cause the leakage later.

8. Instructions for Installing a fitting① When installing a fitting, use proper tools to tighten a hexagonal-column

or an inner hexagonal socket. When inserting a hex key into the inner hexagonal socket of the fitting, be careful so that the tool does not touch lock-claws. The deformation of lock-claws may result in a poor performance of systems or an escape of the tube.

② Refer to Table 2 which shows the recommended tightening torque. Do not exceed these limits to tighten a thread. Excessive tightening may break the thread part or deform the gasket and cause a fluid leakage. Tightening thread with tightening torque lower than these limits may cause a loosened thread or a fluid leakage.

③ Adjust the tube direction while tightening thread within these limits, since some PISCO products are not rotatable after the installation.

6. Instructions for Tube Insertion① Make sure that the cut end surface of the tube is at right angle without

a scratch on the surface and deformations.② When inserting a tube, the tube needs to be inserted fully into the push-

in fitting until the tubing edge touches the tube end of the fitting as shown in the figure below. Otherwise, there is a risk of leakage.

Tube end

Sealing

Tube is not fully inserted up to tube end.

③ After inserting the tube, make sure it is inserted properly and not to be disconnected by pulling it moderately.

※. When inserting tubes, Lock-claws may be hardly visible in the hole, observed from the front face of the release-ring. But it does not mean the tube will surely escape. Major causes of the tube escape are the followings; ①Shear drop of the lock-claws edge②The problem of tube diameter (usually small)Therefore, follow the above instructions from ① to ③, even lock-claws is hardly visible.

7. Instructions for Tube Disconnection① Make sure there is no air pressure inside of the tube, before disconnecting it.② Push the release-ring of the push-in fitting evenly and deeply enough to

pull out the tube toward oneself. By insufficient pushing of the release-ring, the tube may not be pulled out or damaged by scratch, and tube shavings may remain inside of the fitting, which may cause the leakage later.

8. Instructions for Installing a fitting① When installing a fitting, use proper tools to tighten a hexagonal-column

or an inner hexagonal socket. When inserting a hex key into the inner hexagonal socket of the fitting, be careful so that the tool does not touch lock-claws. The deformation of lock-claws may result in a poor performance of systems or an escape of the tube.

② Refer to Table 2 which shows the recommended tightening torque. Do not exceed these limits to tighten a thread. Excessive tightening may break the thread part or deform the gasket and cause a fluid leakage. Tightening thread with tightening torque lower than these limits may cause a loosened thread or a fluid leakage.

③ Adjust the tube direction while tightening thread within these limits, since some PISCO products are not rotatable after the installation.

FITTING Common Safety Instructions for Tubes

Warning

Before selecting or using PISCO products, read the following instructions. Read the detailed instructions for individual series as well as the instructions below.

1. Avoid any load on Tubes such as tensile strength, twisting and bending. These may cause the crush, burst and escape of Tubes.

2. Protect Tubes from scratches caused by snagging or kinking. It may cause the burst of Tubes.

3. The burst pressure of Tubes drops as temperature rises. Read the operating pressure in the catalog well, and apply safety factor.

4. The minimum bending radius and the minimum installation radius are reference values at 20℃ and 65% RH. They are not guaranteed values. Refer to the minimum bending radius when Tubes are wound around a mandrel (round bar). As for the other operating conditions, refer to the minimum installation radius. These values vary depending on operating environments or the tube length. In order to make sure the suitability of Tubes, carry out the operation test by the user's actual machine before using Tubes.

5. Place Insert Ring into the edge of soft tubes like UD Series or tubes inserted to Push-In Fittings with a water fluid. There is a possibility of escape of Tube without Insert Ring.

6. Only Anti-spatter Tube can be used under the flame and weld spatter condition. Otherwise, there is a possibility of danger to catch fire by sparks.

7. Only Soft Nylon Tube can be used for warm water or thermal oil. Otherwise, tubes may burst due to deterioration.

8. Only Anti-static Tube can be used under the condition required to dissipate static electricity or provide an anti-static performance. There is a possibility that static electricity can cause malfunction or other troubles with the system.

9. An abnormal rise in temperature due to adiabatic compression may cause damage to Tubes.

10. If Tubes are used with any fluid or under any condition / environment other than listed in the catalog, as well as used outdoors, the conformity evaluation with the actual machine and safety measures taken by the responsible person are highly recommended.

■ Minimum Bending Radius & Minimum Mounting Radius1. Measurement method

●Minimum Bend Radius (JIS method) ●Minimum Installation Radius (Vice method)

JIS method (based on JIS B8381)  Minimum Bending Radius is

measured by winding a tube tightly around a mandrel. Minimum Bending Radius is the value when the deformation ratio of the tube O.D. reaches 25%.  Measurement condition: 20℃

65%RH

   n= 1-─── ×100 L-D2d

  n= Deformation ratio (%). Standard: under 25%

  d= Tube O.D.  L= Measured value (mm)  D= Mandrel diameter (mm)

Fix the tube as the left figure shows. Slowly move the moving edge toward the fixed edge. When “a” deforms 25% from the initial value, the measured R is Minimum Installation Radius.  Measurement condition: 20℃
